Voz Pasiva - Passive Voice
- Cuando usamos la voz pasiva, nos enfocamos en la realización de una acción en lugar de en el ejecutor de esa acción. Ese es el propósito de esta estructura.
- La voz pasiva es parte de muchos tiempos verbales diferentes, pero la fórmula para construir una oración en esta estructura es siempre la misma.
- Para formar una oración pasiva, simplemente añadimos la siguiente fórmula al tiempo verbal: To be + participio pasado (v3). (Ver ejemplos abajo.)
-
The best song (sujeto) was (to be) chosen (v3)
- El participio pasado es la segunda forma pasada de los verbos irregulares y la forma pasada normal de los verbos regulares. Choose → chose —> chosen (verbo irregular) Study → studied (verbo regular)
